Listen "Ep.1: Being Sex Trafficked"
Episode Synopsis
Sex trafficking is when victims are manipulated or forced to engage in various forms of sexual activity for someone else’s financial gain. Sex trafficking does not necessarily involve movement or transportation, a person can be trafficked and go home and sleep in their own bed at night (Polaris Project, 2021).
